The Tito-Stalin Split 70 Years After
Keywords:
Tito, Stalin, Yugoslavia, 1948, Cominform, InformburoSynopsis
There is nothing as important and as defiant in the history of Tito’s (or republican) Yugoslavia than the split between Tito and Stalin in the summer of 1948. Tito was one of the first to defy Stalin – and he got away with it. Yugoslavia was regarded as the most reliable Soviet ally until 1948, so the shock was quite substantial. The goal of the Zagreb conference “The Tito-Stalin Split: 70 Years Later”, Zagreb–Goli Otok, 28–30 June 2018, as well as of the papers presented, was to show not only the new interpretations and takes on the subject, but to present the Yugoslav 1948 as a global event, one that touched lives of so many people around the world. It had a very significant impact not only on politics, international relations, prisoners, army cooperation and army relations, ideology, but also cultural life and production, especially in Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. Most of the papers presented at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, which co-organized the whole event with colleagues from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, are published in this volume.
